We’re excited to announce HTTP Actions for Rule Engine which enable you to communicate with third party applications/services like IFTTT, WebCoRE, Voice Monkey, Zapier (and more!). This further expands your smart home automation with nearly unlimited integration possibilities.
Trigger an IFTTT applet by sending a GET/POST request
Method: GET/POST
URL: get the Trigger URL from the “Document” link in the webhooks section. Create an applet, choose “Webhook” as the applet trigger, and fill in the desired event name, which will be part of the request URL.
You can also trigger Rule Machine rules by adding the Trigger → Cloud End Point to your RM rule and then calling that from a SharpTools HTTP Action.
Method: GET/POST
URL: get the specific maker api URL from the Maker API page in Hubitat. Make sure you use the cloud URLs, instead of the local ones, and replace the device ID, command, and etc accordingly from the example URLs.
Call the Voice Monkey API to trigger an Alexa routine, or Text-to-Speech/Anouncements.
Method: GET
URL: enable Voice Monkey skill in your Alexa app, and complete the installation as instructed in https://voicemonkey.io. Follow the instructions in the document to create a monkey, and add a routine. Go to “playground” in Voice Monkey web page and copy the API URL from the monkey you just created.
Call the Zapier webhook trigger API to trigger a zap automation.
Method: GET
URL: select “Webhook by Zapier” as the zap trigger, and select “catch Hook” as the Trigger Event. Click “Continue” and the Custom Webhook URL to trigger this zap should be displayed in the next step.

This feature will close the following trending feature request: Rule Engine: HTTP Request
You can also trigger Rule Machine rules by adding the Trigger → Cloud End Point to your RM rule and then calling that from a SharpTools HTTP Action.
